Cauliflower Soup

Last week, cauliflower was sold at road side shop nearby ,since it has been long time, i made any dish with cauliflower, so i bought it. Instead of making regular kurma, cauliflower pakoda or manchurian. I want something to do different ,so searched in google and found this soup recipe as interesting ,so tried it immediately with few modification to suite our taste.

Ingredients

Cauliflower - 2/3 cup florets

Onion - 1 (small)

Garlic - 1 pod

Bay leaf - 1

Milk- 1/4 cup

Corn flour - 1 tsp

Salt - 1/2 tsp(approx)

Pepper powder - 1 tsp

Butter - 1 tsp

Procedure

Clean the cauliflower and cut into small florets and onion into small pieces. Crush the garlic and keep aside

Heat butter in a pressure pan, add garlic, bay leaf & onion and saute it well. Then add cauliflower and mix it well.

Then add 1/2 cup water approx and cover the pan with lid & put on whistle. Cook it for 3 whistle.

Once the pressure released, remove the bay leaf and mash it well with potato masher.

Again heat it with enough water & milk . Once it comes to boil, mix the corn flour with water and add into it.

Finally add the salt and pepper and allow to boil for 4-5 mins & switch off the flame.

Note:

Butter gives great flour to this soup, so dont use oil to saute it.

This soup is not very creamy, if you want creamy, once cooked, mashed with hand mixer or put it in blender and blend it well.

Add water & cornflour , according to the consistency of the soup you want.
